How similar is the PSAT to the real SAT?

Hello! I took the PSAT at my school recently, and got a decent score, but I would like to improve it. So, I was wonder how similar in difficulty the It is, and how your actual scores compared to your PSAT. Thank you!

It’s the same questions, but in a shorter format. Plus, the SAT has an essay. So it’s not too different, but don’t underestimate the strain of 3+ hours.

Compared scores vary. My scores were: PSAT Sophomore: 231 SAT Sophomore: 2210 SAT Junior: 2310. Others saw a direct correlation right after the PSAT, but I took an extra year to catch up to my PSAT score.

I just realized I never replied to this! Thank you very much for your help, it was, well, helpful. :slight_smile:
